Wireless Access Point Service Identifier Control via QoS Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The quality control over data services delivered through wireless access points and base stations is inefficient, particularly in maintaining Quality-of-Service (QoS) thresholds for voice and video sessions.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication network system that broadcasts service identifiers for data services and processes user data to determine if any service falls below its QoS threshold, sending instructions to stop or restart the broadcast of service identifiers as necessary to maintain service quality, using network gateways and access points to manage data service delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If wireless access points broadcast service identifiers continuously to provide data services, then service availability and accessibility are improved, but quality of service control becomes inefficient and cannot maintain QoS thresholds
Solution Approach 1:
The network gateway monitors QoS metrics for data services and provides feedback by sending control messages to wireless access points. When QoS thresholds are violated, the gateway instructs access points to stop broadcasting service identifiers, creating a closed-loop feedback system that dynamically adjusts service advertisement based on actual service quality
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from static continuous broadcasting to dynamic conditional broadcasting. Access points adjust their broadcasting behavior based on real-time QoS conditions received from the network gateway, making the service availability adaptive to current network conditions while maintaining QoS requirements
2Loss of information
If wireless access points continue broadcasting service identifiers despite poor service quality, then service visibility to users is maintained, but ineffective service delivery and resource waste occur
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of completely stopping service broadcasting, the system applies partial action by selectively stopping broadcasts only for services that violate QoS thresholds while maintaining broadcasts for services that meet quality requirements. This ensures energy efficiency without completely eliminating service visibility
Solution Approach 2:
The system extracts problematic service identifiers from the broadcast set by selectively stopping their advertisement when QoS violations occur, while maintaining broadcasts for high-quality services. This separates effective from ineffective service delivery information

AI summary
A wireless communication network controls data services that are delivered over a wireless access point. The wireless access point broadcasts service identifiers for the data services to user communication devices. The user communication devices and the wireless access point exchange the user data for the data services. The wireless access point and a network gateway exchange the user data for the data services. The network gateway processes the user data to determine if one of the data services falls below a Quality-of-Service (QoS) threshold. If one of the data services falls below its QoS threshold, then the network gateway transfers an instruction to stop wirelessly broadcasting the service identifier for the data service. The wireless access point receives the instruction and stops its wireless broadcast of the service identifier for the data service.
